305-052-520-268

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-052-520-268 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features a dual-row configuration with 52 positions and a 3.96 mm pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic housing. It supports board thicknesses of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. Rated for 5 A current with 5 GOhms insulation resistance, it employs solder pin termination for secure PCB attachment.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating thickness and housing color variations. Ensure compatibility with the target card edge thickness specifications before integration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributor channels. Cross-reference the Mouser number 587-305-052-520-268 for accurate sourcing identification.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust 52-position interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The vertical orientation suits panel-mounted applications where space efficiency is critical. The gold plating ensures durability in high-cycle mating environments. Consider the thermoplastic material properties for thermal stability requirements within the specified operating temperature range.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series, which offers various mounting options and row configurations. The series is known for providing reliable connections in demanding electronic environments. Similar parts in the series may differ in position count or mounting style but share consistent electrical characteristics and material standards defined by the manufacturer.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 52-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, and dual-row configuration. Verify that alternative connectors support the same board thickness range and current rating. Ensure the replacement maintains the vertical panel mount style and solder pin termination method for mechanical compatibility.
